Rodsim

Rod Lift Design in the Browser

Rod lift design with cubic spline wellbore modeling, survey step length down to 10 ft, five designs side by side, and results in under 30 seconds.

Rodsim

Rod System Design

Design rod-pumped wells with cubic spline wellbore modeling and multi-scenario comparison in the browser.

Simulation in the Browser
RodSim returns results in under 30 seconds so engineers run more candidates on the same well. Visualize parameter changes and predict equipment behavior under various conditions.
Well Deviation Analysis
Adjust step length down to 10 ft for high-resolution surveys, identify critical stress and wear zones. Target rod guide and centralizer placement to reduce mechanical wear and drag forces.
Multi-Scenario Comparison
Evaluate up to five rod pump designs in a single view. Compare production rates and mechanical stress across scenarios and set the base case.
Failure Analysis
Bulk simulate across changing wellbore conditions to identify failure causes. Inform design changes that prevent failures and extend equipment life.
Cubic Spline Wellbore
The wellbore is interpolated with cubic splines so loads follow the survey you brought in. Deviated wells keep the turns that matter for rod design.
